Well the thing is... Riley said he didn't really want to draft another inexperienced player for the backcourt, yet that's exactly what he did in trading for Patrick Beverley. And instead of getting someone with a consistent 3PT shot, he basically got someone who is scouted as a Mario Chalmers clone... some who has a decent handle, and is somewhat okay at driving to the hoop, but is most known as a defensive PG.

Also, all three of those teams that upgraded their roster, as I quote Riley on it were "giveaways" for expiring contracts. I don't want Riley to wait too long and end up getting table scraps because all the teams who were looking to trade a good player in a salary dump have already made their moves.
